Explanation:
Shakespeare's famous play, <em>Macbeth</em>, is a story about the Scottish general, his attempt to become a king and preserve the position. Macbeth is told by the three witches that no man born of woman will be able to harm him, as well as that he is safe until Birnam wood starts moving.
